Nominations are being accepted for the Collegiate All American Women (CAAW) Honor Roll. All coaches interested in submitting an athlete for consideration must follow the process outlined below to ensure that their athlete is considered for the All American honor roll. The process has been changed from prior years in an effort to consider a broader spectrum of athletes rather than restricting the selection to athletes playing for teams competing in the collegiate playoffs.

The 2010 CAAW Honor Roll will name a pool of First Team All Americans and a pool of Second Team All Americans, pulled from all three divisions. Athletes who are named to the Honor Roll will be recognized in a USA Rugby press release and by letters to the athlete and to their school. In addition, athletes who make the CAAW Honor Roll will be considered for selection to the 2010 CAAW squad, to compete in the 2010 NASC event in late May.
